    Dealing with dishonesty

    Sorry, I'm done...just would not allow someone to accuse me of misinformation when I'm rock solid on my facts.

    Dealing with dishonesty

    I agree with you that this is not the place but as far as misinformation...I am a medical professional for nearly 30 years with ten of those years in OB/GYN where I delivered babies. My statements on PP are informed and correct based on my knowledge of the medical system including billing and...

    Why do you make soap?

    The why for me started out as necessity. Store bought soaps would make me rash and itch...even the most "gentle" would cause blotches. I started making my own MP with glycerin and botanicals. That was back in the days before SBs and I refused to sit around stirring for hours, so CP was not a...

    Hanger swirl question

    So very pretty...and I'm amazed she could do so much manipulation with that hanger and not ruin it. I may have to try it with my thinner batters...thanks! Stunning!

    Dealing with dishonesty

    Of course your entitled to your opinion. My opinion is that as a society, we are getting much too comfortable with "letting things slide" when it comes to doing the right thing. Planned Parenthood selling baby parts, their execs making 600K a year and spending tens of millions on travel...

    Am I the only one who...

    For me it's been the challenge of learning how to swirl...so I spend hours on youtube finding a swirl I like then I search that swirl and look at every possible way to pour and swirl it...and in the end I don't even come close to what I wanted to do...but in some cases I've been really happy...

    Mad Oils vs Bramble Berry Colorant Quality?

    Ahh...well I get that...I have only used a few FOs so I had no idea about the differences with different ingredients. It would make it pretty impossible to formulate a list. Having had acceleration issues with one of the FOs I tried, I was hoping for a way of picking one that wouldn't cause...

    Making own essential oils

    Funny this should come up now...I've had several patients tell me they are taking YL oils...I had never heard of them so I went on their site to find out more. I saw pyramid type of company with a very expensive product. I didn't delve a lot into the process of how they make their oils, they...

    Dealing with dishonesty

    I got a response from the vendor today. He stated that he had tried to ship my order from ebay from China and ran into major problems and delays. Because my order was so delayed he chose to take the stock from Amazon and ship it to me for waiting so long. Now normally I would have felt like I...

    Dealing with dishonesty

    Not according to Amazon, they were very interested in this practice and will investigate. I am a stickler for ethics...occupational hazard...and that a vendor would use Amazon's money to ship for an Ebay purchase is, IMHO slimy at best. Why the vendors cutter didn't come up on a quick amazon...

    Mad Oils vs Bramble Berry Colorant Quality?

    Hey Carrie! Thank you so much for listening! One thing I would love to see is fragrances divided into groups that would help me in my soap making....How about Swirl Superstars...fragrances that don't accelerate? Or Color Me Crazy...Fragrances that discolor that I might want to use for a...

    Wow! Has anyone done this?

    Two words: Taiwan Swirl...tons of youtube videos on it and my new favorite.

    Am I the only one who is afraid to share my soap with other soapers?

    I give my soaps to friends and family and they say they love them...what do I expect they are gonna say? Am I really getting a true review? I am looking forward to some feedback from experienced soapers on my soaps. Can't wait until I can qualify for a swap....

    Hanger swirl question

    I've been watching a lot of videos on hanger swirls and I notice that everyone attaches chopsticks or something to make it thicker. What would happen if you just used the hanger wire itself? I would think it would make a really fine textured swirl. Has anyone done this?

    Mixing titanium dioxide and silber mica

    I've used the 24 karat gold mica with TD white and it clumped...small little clumps but clumps none the less. Since it's getting washed off I don't think the glitter will leave any "radiance" like you might get with a lotion or other leave on product. Here's a pic of my soap with the gold mica...

    Wow! Has anyone done this?

    Thanks Dana for posting this. I found the article as interesting as the pics! I've never done any CPOP but I might even try this technique just out of curiosity with a colorant. Kinda reminded me of a watermark. Is she DeeAnna's aunt? :lolno:
